which picks and strings and pickups do you always go back to?
jazz III xl, d'addario 9 gauge, duncan jb/59
 
Dunlop Jazz III Carbon Fiber , GHS 10-60 ( drop C) , SD Live Wire Dave Mustaine :)
 
Dunlop Gator Grip 2.0mm
D'Addario 9-54 nickel
Blaze Custom & EVO7
Blaze Neck & Air Norton 7
 
Dunlop Ultex Sharp/ Blackfang 1.14 mm
D´Addario 11-49 (Eb) and 11-52 (D)
EMG JH Set
Bill Lawrence XL500 (one guitar)
 
Dunlop Tortex 0.73mm pics
D'Addario 10-46 strings
Pickups for me it depends on the guitar, but an Anderson H2+ bridge is a pretty safe bet, great pickup.
 
Dunlop max-grip .60/.73
Dunlop 10-48 for 24 3/4 scale Eb/ 10-46 for 25 1/2 scale Eb
for active Emg 81(chrome of course, bitches love chrome)
and for passive Gibson dirty fingers.
 
The yellow Dunlop gels, X Heavy.
D´Addario XLs, 9-46.

As for pickups, I always seem to end back at JBs and the Anderson H3+.
 
Picks: Pickboy Metacarbonite 1.0
Strings: DR Tite-Fit 10s
Pickups: Anderson H2+, Fralin Vintage Hots
 
Dunlop .73
GHS DYL
SD Livewire HMET (non mustaine) or Tone Zone
 
Blue Dunlop 1.0mm picks. Elixer 10-46 strings. Pickups are dependant on what I think the guitar needs.
 
tortex 1 or 1.14mm's ( i go back and forth), ernie ball 9-46's, and I guess the JB for humbuckers. About to start branching out on them tho, I'd like to try something new. Never strayed far away from Dimarzio and Seymour Duncan but so many on here rave about Anderson, Lollar, and BKP. may have to test the waters...
 
Yellow (or green) Dunlop Tortex
Elixir nanoweb 10's
Don't have go to pickups really. Just no actives, please.
 
jazz III sharp picks
DR drop tune 12-60 or X-rockers 12-60 awesome cheapo strings i fought on ebay
EMG 81 and 85
 
Dunlop .96 Gator Grips (sharpened on carpet)
Ernie Ball 10-52
Manlius Asphalts
 
Clayton Ultem Triangle 0.88 or 1.0
D'Addario 10-46 and Fender 9-42 (for my Tele)
Pickups depend on the guitar, but 2 of my favorites are the Suhr DSH+ and Gibson 498T (in the minority on this one)
 
JazzIII
10s for strings, 11s for downtuned
BKPs most of the time

Peace,
Mojo
 
Dunlop Little Stubby 3.00
Ernie Ball Power Slinky (.11-.48)
Tone Zone/Air Zone with series/parallel mini switches
 
Dunlop Ultex Jazz III's or 2.0
D'ADDARIO 9.5's or Aurora 9's
Dimarzio Super 3 bridge, Super 2 neck for humbuckers, Dimarzio Fast Track 2 bridge for high gain strat, Air Norton S for lower gain strat bridge, Area '54 or Area '61 middle, Chopper for high gain neck, Injector for lower gain neck.

Virtual Solo, Heavy Blues 2, and Humbucker from Hell get honorable mentions.
